I can't think of a single case where that is true.
> I'm not sure they would directly aid these enzymes, but it would certainly allow more nutrients available to synthesize them - think it's probably true that bacteria and yeast can degrade important amino acids.Can, but don't have time to do so. Moreover, they much prefer dealing with the energy available in all those carbs and sugars passing by. They turn to amino acid metabolism only when they're starving.
Once an amino acid is free in solution (in the stew of digesting food in the gut), it's up for grabs. It could instantly be taken up by passing through the gut wall. Or, it might be taken up by a bacterium or yeast (they need them to replicate, for example, and they do that very effectively). If used for its own proteins, that amino remains totally unchanged. The death of that particular microbe releases the unchanged amino all over again. About 90% of fecal mass is composed of alive, and the corpses of dead, intestinal flora and fauna.
